Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a bowl combine the oats, oat flour, spices, coconut, chopped dates, apricots, raisins, pumpkin seeds and white chocolate chips.
- In a separate mixing bowl, using a mixer, combine the pumpkin puree, honey, molasses, butter and vanilla.
- Add the pumpkin mixture to the oat mixture and combine. I just used my mixer to do this part for me.
- Once the granola mixture is thoroughly combined, press it into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is light brown and dry to the touch.
- Then remove from the oven and lift the granola slab out onto a cutting board.
- Cut the granola into bars, being careful not to saw the bars – press down to cut so that you don’t tear apart the bars.
- Let cool completely.
